Fans of Hudson Cottage may have a problem trying to find it on the site. It has shut down. After an incredible 27 years of operation Hudson Cottage is retired. But fortunately the B&B, Cupid’s Nest, Captain Samuel’s Cottage and the Lodge are still going strong. Some of the lovely contents from Hudson Cottage are also appearing in the other cottages.

I am pleased to announce we have finished doing quite a major renovation on the Retreat. We are really happy with hour it looks. We are confident guests will really love the way the two bedrooms work now. A new fresh bathroom looks great too. I’ll change the pics in[…]

The very popular two bedroom suite called “The Retreat” is getting a major make over. Bathroom is gone, one wall is gone, another wall partly removed then put back. Hopefully by mid June guests will be enjoying a whole new wonderful fresh suite. If you are a regular visitor to[…]

Last week we had a family stay at our Captain Samuel’s cottage for 10 days. They loved the idea of choosing to stay in the village or going for day drives at their leisure each day. The husband’s biggest ambition was to catch a fish on our land that boarders[…]

We are very busy doing a major renovation on the bathroom. Finished in mid August the bathroom will still feature a bath, but now have a separate walk in shower. The big feature is the revealing of the lovely convict sandstone on one of the walls. Looking forward to sharing[…]

Ross Seasons I’m starting to see a pattern here. I like talking about the Ross seasons. No wonder. The contrasts between the seasons is one of the many appealing aspects of the village. I’m writing this in mid winter where the trees are without leaf, crisp frosty mornings and short days[…]

At time of writing Cupid’s Nest is getting an upgrade. Up till now we have maintained the original open fire in this lovely romantic cottage. However it’s not very romantic if you are cold. Open fires are the traditional way of being warm, but wood heaters are by far more[…]

Winter is well and truly on to us! The trees are picturesque in their bare state. The reflections of the bridge are perfect on still frosty mornings. The beanie and scarf get a good workout. Great thing, we have great heaters and wood fires. Guests are enjoying the quiet short[…]

The Summer has been spectacular in Ross, a little too hot for us Tassie residents on some days. Alas Autumn is soon upon us. Officially March marks the beginning of Autumn. In our long experience March is the most reliable month for great weather, not too hot or cold. The[…]
